My Kids

I have 3 children, oldest 6, 2nd is 2 1/2, and youngest is 6 mos. I love them with all my heart. That's why it hurts when my 6 yr old says she has no friends. But after some thinking and observing I think she's a little bossy. Like one time she told a girl in the masjid, that she should not wear nail polish, coz' she can not pray and her wudu is not valid. She told some other girls that they should not wear short sleeve shirts in the masjid. I think my daughter has become the muslim law enforcer.
I know she means well, but obviously no one would liked to be told what to do, ALL THE TIME!! I think she feels deep in her heart that maybe it's not fair why those girls get to do it and not me. I truly feel sorry for her. How to make her understand that she's in the right path. I feel so lost sometimes when it comes to things like this. You work so hard to teach your children right from wrong. And then you step outside your door and then you are put to the test. TO cave in or to stay steadfast. Now adays it looks like it's so much easier to just be like everyone else, whether right or wrong.
Now I truly understand why Allah Subhana ta'ala gives so much honor and such high status for the mother. It's not easy raising your kids the right way. The upbringing of a child is so essential, in character building.. It's who we are.

Okay I have to always keep this in my head, so everytime I am faced with an obstacle, I will know how to overcome it.
